Wow, neat. The demo is new, but knowledge of the game isn't. Newly-found roms are cool. I didn't know that, I just looked it up on unseen64.net and found some old magazine scans: https://www.unseen64.net/2010/

You might be surprised by how many places have no yard anymore -- a huge number of subdivision houses don't have a yard big enough to throw a ball across. It's not like it was 20, 30, or 40 years ago. Where there was one house, no

The great outdoors is now a 4 foot strip of grass between your outer wall and the sidewalk or your neighbor's house, and the suburbs go on forever. The outdoors isn't as accessible as it seems for a lot of people. Doesn't app

Incentive to create things I can't have, use, or see, regardless of my willingness to pay? Okay. I don't care if they have that incentive, and I don't think many other people do either. Now, if they're going to create AN

Why would we care if they create works if nobody can have them?

The only reason we gave creators the right to control their work is to encourage them to create it and make it available. If they aren't going to make it available, then no, we have no obligation to protect their work with our money an

money spent isn't money burned--it paid people's salaries, it helped people gain skill and experience that will apply to future projects, and the total economic benefit (not just in dollars, but in capabilities and human capital)

Sanctions are a means to enforce either one nation's will--or the standards of the global community--without resorting to open war. Let us hope sanctions don't fall apart as a tool, lest we end up with a much less pleasant tool: w

Absolutely kudos for building this, it's something I've daydreamed about for a while. If you ever do a successor format, color triangle barcodes can store 3x as much information per square inch -- so you could either have just one

They didn't go the airplane store and pick one off the shelf either though... Lockheed gets something like 90% of its revenue from the federal government. They're effectively an arm of the Air Force. Besides, it's not like th

Because it helps you learn. You can tell someone a brief answer to memorize, but to teach them anything takes a little more explaining. For example, Question #1 is often "how do I do this in some particular way", but 2 and 3, &quo

SGI workstations had software that only ran on SGI workstations, they had hardware that did things that consumer PCs just didn't (like 3D hardware before that became a consumer item) The Mac Pro isn't different enough to categoriz

So, then, the convenience outweighs the disk space cost? And also, I guess, transcoding the least-popular format on-the-fly is still too CPU intensive for large files (zips of hundreds of jp2 images, etc) Guess I'm looking for a magic

I don't understand why archive.org keeps all kinds of formats, .ogg and .mp3, .pdf and .jpg for the same resource? Why not just whatever the original format was? Sometimes its a dozen or so formats it seems like. There are probably a l

That was the point (in the DARPA context of this thread) -- nuke takes out a city, network still functions and routes around it. So signals are still getting from SAC to DC or whatever.

If Iran goes offline, all the connections that would have routed through it now route around it, so the internet is resilient. i.e. it's resilient for all of Iran's neighbors who will be unaffected.
